LUXEMBOURG, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Easy integration: new cross-channel-payment solution already integrated in the IT specialist's retail POS systems
MICROS is the first provider of checkout systems to offer a comprehensive POS solution that enables an even easier integration of Yapital's cross-channel payment solution. From now on, all retailers and service providers worldwide working with MICROS POS systems can offer their customers the new cross-channel payment system as a fast, easy and intuitive means of payment. Yapital users simply have to scan the QR code shown on the POS display using the Yapital-App on their smartphone and confirm the purchase amount with a click. The business customer will then receive their money in real-time.
In addition to working together directly with major retailers like REWE or Görtz, the partnership with MICROS - an international specialist in this area - is an important strategic step for Yapital as there are installed more than 100,000 MICROS POS systems within in-store retail alone.
"We have in-store retail in our sights, just as much as we have online payments and purchase on account when it comes to the first real cross-channel-payment solution," says Nils Winkler, Chairman of the Board of Yapital. "In MICROS, we are excited to have gained a valuable partner along our way, who, like us, focuses on user-friendly solutions with clear advantages for business customers."
"Innovative payment systems which go beyond cash and credit cards will become increasingly significant in retail," Thilo Freund, Managing Director of MICROS Retail Deutschland GmbH in Berlin, explains. "We have been supporting this trend from the start, and that's why, together with our partner Yapital, we can provide our clients with a fully functional, cross-channel solution so early on."
